lyrics

I said it at lunch on Deansgate Road

With a dented spoon and a paper cup

You used it first, like it was owed

Now I use it too, and I caught myself up

In the chip shop queue at quarter to two

I heard it slip out, plain and neat

On the blue bus home, I turned to you

It sounded like my own bad beat

Your word

Your word

Your word

Your word

It's sat on my tongue all day

By the sink, I scrubbed a tea stain clean

On a cracked white plate, by half past ten

I said it again, like I hadn't seen

It was yours in my mouth, then mine again

I heard my mates laugh on the number four

At the wet coat rail, in the aisle of light

You lent me the phrase from the day before

Now it comes back dressed up in my mouth at night

Your word

Your word

Your word

Your word

It's sat on my tongue all day

Last Thursday, outside the bakery door

I said it to the girl with the silver tray

She looked at me like she'd heard it before

And I knew then I had given you away

Your word

Your word

Your word

Your word

It's sat on my tongue all day
